So it will still work better than trying to do a "getsockname()" or

something. If the file descriptor really _has_ been changed, it might give

a false negative (somebody replaced it with *another* socket), but on the

other hand, that's much better than a false positive. And if somebody

replaced the socket with a real file descriptor, it will catch it..
